Hi all,
I now have my recent find running pretty well and I spent the evening, last night, scrubbing (literally!) both top and bottom covers, which were FILTHY. This scope spent many of it's most recent years in a CB shop and from the looks of it, it was out in the diesel truck bay!
Anyway, I hand rubbed the bottom, before I gave up using a piece of bath towel and started using a Scotchbrite scrubbing sponge, which along with some "green" cleaner, was able to cut through the grease and grime. Now, it looks pretty good, but the combination of wear and my scrubbing has taken away the nice shine that the original Tek paint had.
Is there anyone here who, like me, had to clean a REALLY filthy cover and ended up with dull paint and found a way to shine it up? I wonder whether leather wax, car wax, or something like that would work...
Any thoughts? At this point, it looks pretty good and it sure wouldn't hurt for me to experiment, but thought I'd check the "Tek Brain Trust" first...
Thanks,
Phil
